Course Description

This course is offered jointly by UTS: Information Technology and UTS: Business and is awarded with two testamurs. The information technology component provides a sound education in all aspects of computing and information technology for students who intend to make a career in the profession. The business component provides students with the knowledge, competencies and values necessary for fulfilling an effective career in business.

Graduates with solid IT skills who also understand business operations are in strong demand in industry. This combined program allows students to gain two degrees, leading towards a career in business IT operations in only four years.

Positives - I.T half of the course is very practical and thus allows me to immerse myself into the field I am studying very efficiently and allows me to interact with so many new people. Also a combination of the two courses provides me with a broad spectrum of opportunities

Negatives - Business can be a bit boring. Very theoretical and bland.

My advice to future students is: The workload is quite heavy so make sure you can be committed to your studies - because I have seen it get too much for people, including me, and that isn't fun
